Wildly rushing rivers in the Alps

Published 2018-10-25
What would happen to the mountains without water? They would turn into deserts, devoid of life and vegetation. But there are very few mountains without water on our planet. They take care of this themselves, creating their life’s element and taking water directly from the sky by entrapping the clouds around them.

This water then collects on the flanks of the mountains, where it turns from rivulets into rivers, that flow out into the oceans. Mountains and water are symbiotic, a cycle that keeps life on earth going. Mountain streams slowly move along meadows before, only moments later, turning into the spray of waterfalls or small mystic lakes. What kind of life can be found in and around this mysterious cosmos?

We will investigate the world of the rare Danube salmon and be there to see the Danube bleak spawn. We will follow giant wels catfish into their hideouts, see great crested grebes on their underwater hunting. We go diving under the ice of frozen
mountain streams and lakes, discovering life where none was thought possible.

    Very educational. Talks about biotic and abiotic factors, the different sub-acqautic and aquatic lifeforms that live along a stream, river, or lake, (above and below), and also the predators and the hunted and some of their adaptions to survive. Beautifully narrated. Thank you so much.
